EV0KE DIR: "Today I become freed from my chains in EVE"

[kugutsumen]

An exploit announced 11th of December by CCP relating to functions within POS Reaction chain, which allowed expensive material to be created without any base elements utilized has caused uproar within the EVE community. This exploit effectively allowed infinite amount of isk to be printed with little effort or cost by malicious members of the community.

While CCP has released an early estimate of the number of accounts, corporations and alliances involved in this exploit their policy does not permit releasing the names of the people involved granting them the privilege of anonymity.

Maltroc of AMT Corporation of EV0KE alliance, former member of Asgard Schiffswerften (ASW) of Dusk and Dawn Alliance (D2) & G Alliance – you have no such privilege.

On December 7th 2008, a date which will live in infamy, a petition from a concerned player alerted us to a serious problem with Starbase reactors. The petition had been filed five days earlier, a far longer waiting time than we can accept with our current queue status and we have now taken measures to fix that. We immediately started investigating the issue and found that there was indeed a problem and that it was being exploited to gain unfair advantages.

We discovered seven corporations with multiple Starbases set up for the express purpose of exploiting the issue. Three of those corporations were members of two alliances. We took immediate action against the offenders and banned over 70 accounts and destroyed all the Starbases run by the corporations in question. All the offending corporations are now effectively inactive as a result of our actions.

The exploit has been widely cowered on eve-o (http://myeve.eve-online.com/ingamebo...hreadID=945010) and Scrapheap (http://www.scrapheap-challenge.com/v...ic.php?t=21941) after first whistleblower released complete details of this on the german eve-o forums.

erstmal nur folgende nachricht, einige accounts von einigen spielern wurden gebanned

After the next downtime, some accounts of some players will be banned.

Ja .. Grund ist uns bekannt. Stellungnahme kommt nach . :lol:

Yes the reason why is known to us. Statement will come later.

SO.

Der Tag ist da wo ich mich von den Fesseln in Eve befreit wurde.

Ich möchte mich hiermit offiziel aus dem Evoke Lead und dem Amt Lead zurückziehen.
Desweiteren wird es mir nicht mehr möglich sein EvE zu spielen.
Es sind einige Dinge vorgefallen wo ich euch nicht mit hineinziehen möchte.
Daher werde ich diesen Schritt tun.

Es war eine tolle Zeit und mir eine Ehre mit euch dieses Spiel spielen zu dürfen.
Doch nun ist es besser mich von EvE zu distanzieren.
Mit den Gründen habt ihr nichts zu tun.

Daher wünsche ich euch noch viel Spass in Eve.

Euer Maltroc

SO.

Today I become freed from my chains in EvE. I hereby official retire from Evoke and AMT leadership. As it will not be possible for me to play EvE anymore. Some thing happeneds which I do not want to drag you into. So I have to take this decision (step).

I had a fun time playing EvE with you guys. But it's better for me to leave EvE now. You guys are not the reason.

I wish you a lot of fun in EvE.
Your Maltroc

Hat das eine was mit dem anderen zu tun?

Unabhängig davon ists natürlich ein großer Verlust. Soweit ich das beurteilen kann warst du immer einer, der direkt auf Leute zugegangen ist und mit ihnen gesprochen/verhandelt hat.

Has it got anything to do with the others?

Apart from that it's ofcourse a big loss. As far I can tell you you were one of those guys that always talked to people and played with them. (was social).

Danke. Aber im Moment ist es nicht gut für Evoke wenn ich aktiv dabei bin.

Aber ich finde du machst deine Sache richtig gut. Sei einfach immer ehrlich zu den Leuten und sag was du denkst.
Somit wirst du dir eine Lobby schaffen die auch im Notfall hinter dir steht .

Thank you. But atm it's not good for Evoke when I'm involved in that.

I think you approached it the right way. Always be honest to people and say what you think.
This way you create a group of people that also support when an emergency happens.

The thread is gone from the ev0ke forums...

After the next downtime, some accounts of some players will be banned.

just being a little nitpick, the correct translation is :

"for now only following report, some accounts of some players were banned"

[ucfsoccer12]

I'm now known as the caod failure, require more porn to stop my crying...

[NotARealName]

So D2 could print ISK and they still ended up getting beat to death and failing. I guess money can't buy everything after all.

[oozoo]

I'm german

[PondDweller]

Trust me, if anyone was printing money in D2 they weren't sharing with the rest of us. We had really rich corps and totally poor ones while the rich guys pissed on you for not contributing enough ISK-wise.

[omghaxsploits]

I figured it would have had to be an old G corp, especially if it had really been going on for four years.

[Ebodhisatva]

Thanks Kugutsumen! And i truly like the soundclip LOL

Kieron could you check your email (I know you receive loads and are quite busy because our corp suffered from POS exploit some time ago. We petioned the event with quite a bit of evidence (fraps, howto).
The GM closed the petition while providing another "solution" for the events. This caused a lot of frustration. Their solution isn't possible the given game mechanics. A second unanswered petition is still going this ages without answer while the first was lost...

Now some days ago the same exploit happened again with another G POS.

Well you can guess that we are a bit frustrated since we provided information how it happened while we get told something that doesn't even work.

</understatement>

PS: I won't go into the details because it would just get the thread locked.

You're forgetting ccp themselves...
